weekly kerbside textiles bag
St Albans collects textiles weekly at the kerbside. Put clean, dry clothing and fabric in a carrier or plastic bag (not a black sack) beside your bin on your normal collection day — separate from other bagged collections.
Getting it right
Covers clothing, paired shoes (tied together), bed linen, towels, curtains, bags, belts and hats.
Reusable clothing in good condition is better donated to a charity shop or textile bank.
Wet, dirty or contaminated textiles, single shoes, duvets, pillows and carpet are not accepted.
